Thanx | SF, DEN, Remote | Principal Engineer | ONSITE/REMOTE, Full-time | https://www.thanx.com/careers/job/1466586/ Americans spend more than $5 trillion on restaurants, retail, and services each year. Nearly 90% of those transactions happen in a physical store. Data is king. Online it powers personalized customer experiences and product recommendations. Offline, however, it’s still 1999. Brands are blind to their customers, causing them to spend more and more money on “megaphone” marketing. No wonder brick-and-mortar stores are being left behind. In a nutshell, Thanx ingests data, provides insights, enables actions to drive growth in the business. Thanx is backed by some of the best investors in the world — Sequoia Capital, Icon Ventures, and Andy Rachleff (CEO Wealthfront, cofounder Benchmark Capital), to name a few.
